Beautiful waterfall. Must see

The first waterfall of the Reinbach Cascade is reachable after about a 20-minute hike from the parking lot. The path there is wide, easy to walk, and runs along the Francis Contemplation Trail, which has several stations inviting you to reflect. At the waterfall itself, there is a viewing point from which you can enjoy the cascading water and the surrounding nature. Particularly noteworthy is the "Sister Water" contemplation point, a modern representation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that reminds us of the spiritual significance of water. This section of the hike is easy, also suitable for families, and offers a first impressive glimpse of the power of the Reinbach Waterfalls.

Along the trail stands an impressive wooden sculpture depicting a hiker with a dog, accompanied by a stag and a wooden chair with a fox perched on it. This scene symbolizes the connection between humans and nature. The hiker, deep in thought, appears to be walking the path together with his dog, while the stag and fox embody wilderness and freedom. The artwork perfectly captures the harmony between humans, animals, and nature and invites visitors to enjoy a moment of peace and reflection.

The third Reinbach Waterfall is a majestic natural wonder that unfolds along the hiking trail along the Reinbach Gorge. This waterfall impresses with its imposing height and the powerful energy with which the water plunges into the depths. The waterfall is particularly fascinating because it is divided into several cascades that cascade in stages over the rocks. The water roars with a powerful roar, creating a continuous spectacle of spray and mist. The smell of fresh moisture and the sound of the water lapping against the rocks create an atmosphere of raw natural power. The area surrounding the waterfall is characterized by dense forests and moss-covered stones, emphasizing the wild beauty of the place. The third waterfall is particularly visible from the bridge, and the view is simply breathtaking. The view of the water, which forcefully makes its way along the rocks, conveys a sense of freedom and wild beauty. The bridge over the gorge leads hikers directly to the best vantage point, from where they can experience the entire spectacle of the waterfall up close. Here, the sound and visual power of the waterfall can be fully enjoyed—a moment of awe before nature that invites contemplation and admiration.

The bridge over the gorge of the third Reinbach Waterfall is a particularly impressive structure on the St. Francis Way. It spans the deeply incised gorge, formed by the water of the third waterfall. The wooden bridge blends harmoniously into the wild, natural surroundings. From the bridge, you have a breathtaking view of the waterfall, which plunges into the depths with a loud roar. The spray of the water is noticeable in the air and provides a refreshing coolness. Below the bridge, you can observe the roaring current of the water, which incessantly makes its way through the rocks. The bridge itself is sturdy but simple, almost like a signpost, guiding hikers safely on their way. As you cross it, you sense the connection between raw nature and humane craftsmanship. It is a magical moment to stand on the bridge, listen to the rushing water, and take in the wild beauty of the place. This bridge not only provides a convenient connection between the two banks of the gorge, but also a momentarily beautiful view of the third waterfall, which plunges powerfully into the ravine. It's a spot that wonderfully showcases the untamed power of nature and the quiet beauty of this region.

This 6th Point of Reflection: Peace, of the Way of St. Francis invites us to reflect on peace—both within ourselves and in the world around us. Inspired by the words of St. Francis, who considered peace one of the highest virtues, this place is a symbol of harmony and understanding. The peaceful natural surroundings, the sound of the water, and the chirping of birds create a meditative atmosphere that invites contemplation. Two sculptures holding hands were donated by the parish of St. Peter and symbolize the worldwide desire for peace. Holy Scripture speaks to this through a passage from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:9): "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
